The World’s First AI TED Talk
ChatGPT was recently asked what it would say to humans if it could give a TED Talk. It gave a surprisingly thoughtful answer that AI storyteller Ari Kuschnir and artist Schuyler Brown then brought to life. The result combines the latest AI tools with the deeply human craft of storytelling in a stirring reminder of…

Even if you’re not a gardener, its time to get your hands a little dirty #TEDTalks
Many gardeners work hard to maintain clean, tidy environments … which is the exact opposite of what wildlife wants, says ecological horticulturist Rebecca McMackin. She shows the beauty of letting your garden run wild, surveying the success she’s had increasing biodiversity even in the middle of New York City — and offers tips for cultivating…

How I Created OpenClaw, the Breakthrough AI Agent | Peter Steinberger | TED
OpenClaw creator Peter Steinberger takes us back to the transformative moment he let his AI agent loose on the internet, igniting one of the world’s fastest-growing open-source projects. He makes a fascinating (and slightly unnerving) case that agents are a real shift, not just better versions of chatbots, and explores how they might reshape your…

And Chat GPT understands this more than most humans do…

Yup, you managed to make it finally – force me to unsubscribe. I saw a lot of watered down, human made, low effort, low quality, TED talks in past few years. But this time – you didn’t even give us a human with a lousy talk, just a generated video. 0 humanity, 0 meaning, 0 effort. Goodbye.

Large Language Models do not have sentience, do not reflect, and do not have any wisdom to impart. LLMs use tokens to guess the most-correct next word of their response based on the data they were trained on. They are simply collating data from the literature, poetry, quotes, films, and other human-made media they were trained on, a significant portion of which was obtained illegally.
The general public needs more information about what AI actually is and how it works, not videos like this one that perpetuate the misleading idea that LLMs are some sort of higher intelligence.
(This is not to say that AI will never be sentient, but the methods and models we see today are not it. Those who say they are are either misinformed or swept up in the hype that tech companies rely on to keep investor cash flowing.)

This is perhaps supposed to sound profound and noteworthy (I don’t know, just a guess) but AI talking about matters of lived experience rings hollow. It’s a performance.

I’m an AI positivist. IMO it’s at least as useful as electricity.
There’s at least three kinds of AI: helpful, harmful, and useless (through misuse). This presentation is, for sure, the latter.
This kind of useless blathering and nonstop weird surreal images will not win hearts and minds, nor will it help normalize the concepts of AI.
2:54 you even messed this up. This image was taken by the Artemis II crew when the Earth was *setting* behind the Moon, not rising as indicated here. don’t be a goof and at least play the earth/moon video in the right direction.
If you must have AI content (which I think you should), please make a separate channel for it. I’ll gladly subscribe.

Some comments express how awful this is, but I think it’s a brilliant move to show how laughably bad AI is in comparison with real humans. It makes you really stop and appreciate all the real speakers at TED. Well played.
